A member asked:
If sperm can live up to 3-5 days and you have sex everyday, are there a bunch of sperms that keep waiting for the egg to come out?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Refer to your other ? Answers. The sperm do just hang out in the reproductive tract and if they encounter an egg, fertilization is very likely.
